Tyler Gillette
I was born and raised in the NW suburbs of Chicago and a lifelong Chi-town sports fan. Post high school I attended Miami University (Ohio) where I graduated with a degree in Business, majoring in marketing.
After college I relocated to Northern California where I spent just over a decade between Sacramento and the East Bay. During that time I got into the seed industry and met my now wife Jennessa. We relocated to Denver in the fall of 2015. We had a daughter in 2019 named Rory and a dog named Wilbur.
When not out talking seed with customers or hanging with my family, I enjoy playing golf, traveling, and live music.
I’m very excited to be part of the Buffalo Brand team and work with Golf Superintendents and Municipalities all over Colorado/Wyoming.
